For the record - Oct. 5, 2011

Breast cancer: An Oct. 3 Health section article about treatment and social support for people with breast cancer gave the wrong website address for the Cancer Support Community. The correct URL is https://www.cancersupportcommunity.org. The article also said the Cancer Support Community was formerly known as Gilda’s Club. The Cancer Support Community is a union between the Wellness Community and Gilda’s Club Worldwide. Additionally, the article said the website for the Wellness Community is twcvv.org; that website is for the Wellness Community Valley/Ventura, now a local affiliate of the Cancer Support Community. Also, in one instance the article referred to Susan G. Komen for the Cure as Susan B. Komen for the Cure.

Rick Santorum: An article in the Oct. 2 Section A about Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum said he had not won any straw polls. In fact, he won a straw poll in South Carolina in May and one in Pennsylvania, his home state, in September.
